Question

Are 15/24 and 20/36 equivalent or not equivalent

Answer 1

To determine if both fractions are equivalent, it must support the expression:

`a=b`

where a and b are the fractions.

We need to simplify both fractions to check if they are equivalent.

First Fraction:

`(15)/(24)`

We can divide both the numerator and denominator by 3:

`(5)/(8)`

Second Fraction:

`(20)/(36)`

We can divide both the numerator and denominator by 4:

`(5)/(9)`

Putting these into the expression to check equivalency, we can see that:

`(5)/(8)\\e(5)/(9)`

Therefore, BOTH FRACTIONS ARE NOT EQUIVALENT.
